What's the difference between the freestyler flowmaster and whatever else there is?

freestyler has a 81.5 degree HTA
and the flowmaster has a 83 HTA
and i think the freestlyer is shorter and they have different concave and other stuff

I got myself banned.
freestyler is 19 long with a 81.5 ht angle
a flowmaster is 20 long with a 83 ht angle
a free flow is 20 long with a 81.5 ht angle
and a kukk cruiser is 21 long 83 ht angle

TSI decks are strong as hell just too backheavy for me and too high HTAs.

Clamps, bars, forks, everything else is gnarly as hell.

i dont under stand how they are back heavy. if anything they are lighter at the back considering there is no brake spring, bolt, nut, and no big chunky brake. its just two lil bots and a bent peice of steel

its not going to stop, its the vibration from the impact. kinda like hitting a tuning fork.

Ok so, my back wheel is NEVER tight.

no matter how much i tighten it down or whatever, it always comes loose. and yes i have all the spacers in it.

tips kc? or anyone?

If it's rattling too much that means your bearing spacer is too LONG. If it was too short then your wheel would not move. If you tighten it all the way and it's still loose, your bearing spacer is pushing the bearings too far from the bearing houseing.

Now I've got a little trick that might help you out homie. Take a file and if you have access to a drill press, take the file, put on face down on the drill press plate. Put your Bearing Spacer on the file, then turn the drill press on and push the chuck down in to the spacer so that it spins on the file.

This should take off around .005" to .010" depending on how long and how hard you file your spacer. You DON"T WANT TO DO IT FOR TOO LONG OR ELSE IT WON'T WORK. You can't take off more then a .010".

Try that if you can! I always check for a bearing Spacer to be around .380 to .385 (roughly 10mm)
